Washington Wizards guard Jordan McRae has been acquired by the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guard Shabazz Napier. This is a solid move for Denver, but it's going to hurt McRae's fantasy value. He saw plenty of chances with the tanking Wizards, but will fight for his time off the bench in Denver. McRae could be a deep league option, but belongs on the waiver wire in standard leagues. Napier won't have a huge role in Washington and is basically a deep league streaming option.
